What color is Behr Herb Cornucopia?
Behr Herb Cornucopia MQ6-53 is a muted olive green with a softly weathered, gray-leaning cast. Its medium depth keeps it grounded on walls, where it can read as an earthy green rather than a bright botanical shade. Natural daylight brings out its subdued green character, while warmer evening lighting may emphasize its olive and yellowed undertones. Use it in a study, dining room, mudroom, or on kitchen cabinetry alongside warm white trim, aged brass, natural oak, and stone surfaces. Deep brown, charcoal, and clay-toned accents give this shade added definition without competing with its low-key color.

LRV of Herb Cornucopia
Herb Cornucopia has an LRV of 15.84% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 15.84%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
